據(jù)世界石油7月26日消息稱，荷蘭皇家殼牌子公司殼牌離岸公司，宣布了對Whale項目的最終投資決定 (FID)，Whale 是美國墨西哥灣的一個深水開發(fā)項目，其特點是 99% 的船體和 80% 的上層是復(fù)制的我們的Vito項目。

　　殼牌上游總監(jiān) Wael Sawan 表示：“Whale是我們專注于簡化、復(fù)制和縮短周期的資本項目的最新例證，以從我們的優(yōu)勢地位推動更大的價值。我們依靠40多年的深水專業(yè)技術(shù)，提供具有競爭力的高利潤率的項目，這樣我們就能夠滿足今天的能源需求，同時產(chǎn)生所需的現(xiàn)金，為未來的能源發(fā)展提供資金。”

　　Whale將是殼牌在墨西哥灣第二個采用簡化、經(jīng)濟有效的主機設(shè)計的深水開發(fā)項目。通過這種開發(fā)方法，殼牌預(yù)計內(nèi)部回報率估計會超過 25%。Whale 開發(fā)項目將采用節(jié)能燃?xì)廨啓C和壓縮系統(tǒng)。這將是殼牌墨西哥灣投資組合的最新進展，該地區(qū)的生產(chǎn)是全球石油生產(chǎn)中溫室氣體(GHG)強度最低的地區(qū)之一。

　　Whale 開發(fā)項目由殼牌離岸公司（60%，運營商）和雪佛龍（40%）擁有，預(yù)計最高產(chǎn)量將達(dá)到約10萬桶油當(dāng)量/天，目前估計可采資源量為4.9億桶油當(dāng)量。Whale將是殼牌在墨西哥灣的第12個深水項目，目前計劃于2024年開始生產(chǎn)。

　　殼牌的能源發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略包括增加對低碳能源解決方案的投資，同時繼續(xù)追求最節(jié)能和最高回報的上游投資。

　　Shell commits to Whale development in deepwater Gulf of Mexico

　　Shell Offshore Inc., a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc, announced the final investment decision (FID) for Whale, a deep-water development in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that features a 99% replicated hull and an 80% replication of the topsides from our Vito project.

　　“Whale is the latest demonstration of our focus on simplification, replication and capital projects with shorter cycle times to drive greater value from our advantaged positions,” said Wael Sawan, Shell Upstream Director. “We are building on more than 40 years of deep-water expertise to deliver competitive projects that yield high-margin barrels so that we are able to meet the energy demands of today while generating the cash required to help fund the development of the energy of the future.”

　　Whale will be the second Shell-operated deep-water development in the Gulf of Mexico to employ a simplified, cost-efficient host design. With this development approach, Shell anticipates an internal rate of return estimated to be greater than 25%. The Whale development will feature energy-efficient gas turbines and compression systems. This development will be the latest addition to Shell’s Gulf of Mexico portfolio where production is among the lowest greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity in the world for producing oil.

　　The Whale development, owned by Shell Offshore Inc. (60% operator) and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (40%), is expected to reach peak production of approximately 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) and currently has an estimated, recoverable resource volume of 490 million boe. Whale will be Shell’s 12th deep-water host in the Gulf of Mexico and is currently scheduled to begin production in 2024.

　　Shell’s Powering Progress strategy to thrive through the energy transition includes increasing investment in lower carbon energy solutions, while continuing to pursue the most energy-efficient and highest-return Upstream investments.
